Design Smarter, Build Better: Intelligent BIM for Public Buildings, Infrastructure and Communities
Discover how context-aware BIM empowers better outcomes for real-world community projects.
OpenBuildings Designer Webinar series
Designing educational facilities, civic centers, parks, and public infrastructure demands more than just creativity—it requires precision, efficiency, and seamless collaboration. This series explores how architectural firms can tackle complex real-world contexts using intelligent BIM workflows.
See how OpenBuildings Designer empowers architects to integrate diverse data sources, work flexibly with custom design elements, and deliver projects that are accurate, sustainable, and ready for construction. Discover the benefits of streamlined interoperability, energy analysis, and digital twin technology in transforming the way you design, document, and build.
Available OnDemand
Designing community buildings within real-world context, especially amidst complex urban settings or natural terrains, requires a deep understanding of place.
Architects must navigate complex site constraints, local regulations, and the needs of diverse stakeholders. In such projects, effective collaboration and seamless interoperability become essential, especially during design and construction where misalignment can lead to costly setbacks.
OpenBuildings Designer offers a place-aware BIM solution tailored for community architecture. It supports the entire building lifecycle—from early concept to construction and handover—while maintaining data integrity and coordination across disciplines. With powerful modeling tools and the ability to create custom elements, it empowers architects to design with both flexibility and precision, ensuring projects can provide the strongest possible impact on their communities.
What you will learn:
- Inspiring user cases from Boris Pütter, Architect at ona arquitectes.
- How to smoothly integrate many references and formats in an open environment.
- Seamless collaboration across different disciplines and project phases.

Buildings are expected to be efficient, sustainable, and relatively easy to manage long-term. That is where a digital twin and a full-lifecycle BIM approach come in.
In this webinar, explore how OpenBuildings Designer helps you go beyond traditional BIM.
What you will learn:
- How Kaunas University of Technology created a campus-wide digital twin showcasing innovative design and delivery.
- Best practices for interoperability across disciplines and file types.
- New features and enhanced capabilities in OpenBuildings Designer that boost productivity.
- How to take your projects further by creating a digital win for smarter building management.
